Introducing the 2026 Mowi Heritage Award Winner: Oban Heritage Shinty Craic!

This is a new award this year, arising from the development of Shinty’s Story – Sgeul na Camanachd exhibition at the Bught Park, Inverness. It is to be presented to a volunteer or group of volunteers who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to preserving, protecting or communicating the history of shinty.

Archie Alfie and Alan have created a wonderful social hub for the shinty community through their monthly Shinty Craic get-togethers in Oban. They provide a welcoming setting where shinty enthusiasts of all ages can meet, share stories and celebrate the game they love. Through photographs, memorabilia, artefacts and memories, alongside a cup of tea and plenty of craic, they help preserve and share the history and heritage of shinty while bringing people together. Their enthusiasm, commitment and love for the game make Shinty Craic a valued part of the local shinty community.đź‘Ź
